HAYKAKAN ZHAMANAK: ARMENIA’S THIRD CITY CUT OFF POWER SUPPLY

09:27 * 05.02.14

It’s about three days Armenia’s third largest city, Vanadzor, has
been cut off electric power and natural gas supply.

A powerful explosion is said to be the cause. Water pipelines have
been even frozen in several districts.

Speaking to the paper, Chairman of the Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly’s
Vanadzor Office Artur Sakunts said the city was first cut off gas
supply, causing many residents to use electricity to heat their
apartments. But the transmitters did not resist the overload and went
out of order, says the paper.
